For anyone with a passion for good food however, particularly tradional Italian cuisine, this book will definitely be on your shelf of favorites.

I have tried many recipes from this book, and every one has gotten rave reviews from family and friends alike. I even made homemade trofie (Trofie al Pesto) for the first time after being inspired to attempt it when I came across the instructions in this book, and it was every bit as good as the dish I had sampled in Liguria many years ago. Definitely a book I would encourage anyone with a love of Italian food to buy!
